In 2015, the divorce of Gavin Rossdale, frontman of Bush, and Gwen Stefani from No Doubt sent shockwaves through the alternative music community. They were popular figures in the grunge and pop-punk scenes, and their breakup left many fans heartbroken. While Stefani has successfully moved on with Blake Shelton, Rossdale appears to be dwelling on the past.
Recently, Rossdale made headlines when he appeared at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards with his new partner, Xhoana Xheneti, a musician who bears a striking resemblance to his ex-wife. With her blonde hair and signature red lipstick, Xhoana X echoes the No Doubt era, prompting questions about Rossdale’s patterns in dating—especially considering their 23-year age difference and the eerie similarity to Stefani.
Xhoana X bears a strong likeness to Gwen Stefani
After attending the MTV EMAs, Rossdale and Xhoana X were spotted in Primrose Hill, a neighborhood that holds memories from his time with Stefani. The reunion with this younger look-alike of his ex raises eyebrows, especially considering the tumultuous nature of their divorce. It’s perplexing why he seems intent on revisiting that chapter of his life.
Xhoana X’s musical style also reflects themes of rebellion and freedom, drawing parallels to a young Gwen Stefani. Reports suggest she is making a name for herself in the music scene, much like Stefani did during her No Doubt days. Rossdale’s preference for dating women resembling his ex raises concerns, especially since this isn’t the first instance of such behavior.
Gavin Rossdale has a pattern of dating women like Gwen Stefani
The end of Rossdale and Stefani’s marriage was marred by allegations of infidelity, with Stefani claiming Rossdale had been involved in a long-term affair with their nanny, Mindy Mann. Notably, Mann also mirrored Stefani’s style and mannerisms. Now with yet another Gwen Stefani look-alike in his life, one can’t help but question his ability to move on.
In contrast, Stefani has seemingly embraced her new chapters and is thriving with Blake Shelton. Her latest single, “Somebody Else’s,” captures her current sentiment, highlighting her evolution and letting go of the past. We hope Xhoana X finds a fulfilling path too, and doesn’t end up as just another chapter in Rossdale’s romantic history.
